I’m in Boston, the wonderful city I lived in for 47 years. I’m dropping my younger daughter off at college on Sunday, but before that we have food to eat and lots of shopping to do. This post is mostly my favorite foods I must have when coming home.
First stop Antico Forno in the North End.

Arancini fried rice balls with fontina cheese, beef and peas.

Pasta with clams, mussels, and cod in a spicy gravy.

And my favorite dessert Mike’s cannoli!

The best cannoli!

For dinner we met my dad, Jan, my sister Rachel and her 2 kids at Bertucci’s. It is a small Italian chain on the East coast with awesome pizza and great rolls.

I used to meet a friend at Bertucci’s occasionally for lunch and before I would leave, I would order rolls-to-go to bring home for my sons to have when they got home from school. They knew that if I was meeting my friend Roseann for lunch, they would get rolls, because she always wanted to go to Bertucci’s!
